John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

Guns, a lot of guns

Whenever I review one of these, it feels like I’m critiquing both a Mission: Impossible and Fast and Furious film. The good stuff comes straight out of Mission: Impossible. It gets right what most action films nowadays don’t get right: the action. I also quite like its style, cinematography and score. The bad stuff is more in line with the Fast and Furious The characters are terribly uninteresting and bland. The dialogue is so awful, I’m pretty sure you’ll find better lines in ..., well you know where. The acting, man, don’t even get me started on it. I’ll just say that adding Halle Berry was the last thing this franchise needed (although she did well in her action scenes). I’ll take something that gets those 3 things right, but also has bad action (e.g. Avengers: Endgame) over a boring B-film like this anyday. As for the story, I can forgive a lot of its lack of logic because this film isn’t very serious, but it just gets so lame. 4/10
